CHANDRIA'S POV:

I started working at Prince Nathan's mansion and for some reason I became a regular worker without even any interview. Although, that flattered me as well because Prince Nathan must've trust me enough to entrust their meals to me.

I had to wake at 4 am dawn to prepare myself for school and also to cook the Princes' breakfasts. It took me about 45 minutes to finish my morning routines and proceeded in the kitchen to cook bacons and sunny side up egg paired with grapes pancake.

I had to cook the bacon and egg for about fifteen minutes and served it on a plate. Afterwards, I prepared myself to cook and make the grapes pancake.

The process of making the grapes pancake is actually very easy and basic. We will first mix one cup of flour, an egg, an ample amount of water, and also about three table spoons of condensed milk for a more creamy and fluffy pancake dough. After mixing these ingredients on a bowl, we will now proceed adding its flavors. We'll have to add about three to four spoons of grape jams, depending on the amount of your pancake mix. Mixing that well, we'll have a violet-ish colored pancake mix.

Now, we'll heat up the pan, put a small amount of unflavored butter and carefully and slowly put enough pancake mix in the pan, depending on your desired size of pancake.

That alone took me about 40 minutes and noticed that it's already 6:30. I placed the finished grape pancake on a plate and decided to call Luke and Nathan. I heard that Prince Luke will be studying at UMP, well obviously, the Royal Family own UMP.

I also decided to pack up pancakes as their snacks, that way they wouldn't bother going to the canteen. Besides, I have already eaten my share of pancakes, bacons, and eggs while I was cooking. Hehe~

I went to the 3rd floor of the mansion since the Princes' rooms are there. I arrived at Prince Nathan's's room and knock on the door and said, “Your Highness? Its already morning, breakfast is served! You might get late on your first class!” I said. I sighed, I didn't get a reply. I remembered that Prince Nathan's first class starts at 7:20 am, while Prince Luke's first class starts by 7:30 am. I will have my first class at 8 am so I won't be late when I arrive in school.

“Please, wake up! You'll be late for school and breakfast is served!” I shouted once again in hopes that my voice went through Prince Nathan's ear barrier, people tend to act deaf if they don't want to be waken.

“Yes! Yes! I'll wake up in the next five minutes so back off!” Prince Nathan shouted, I could hear some muffled sounds but the words uttered were inaudible. I even noticed the hint of irritation in Nathan's tone. I took a deep sigh and went towards Prince Luke's room.

I was about to knock on his door when  the door immediately opened and what welcomed me was the disheveled look of prince Nathan, he was wearing a white robe and I could see his chest. Oh God, any girl would bleed after seeing that sight.

“A-ahh, the breakfast is ready, your highness.” I stuttered and slightly bowed my head as a sign of respect.

“Okay, I'll be down in half and hour. Wake Nathan again, or he'll be late.” Prince Luke said and I nodded my head. I knew prince Luke is gorgeous but I didn't know his husky tone complimented his physique.

“Prince Nathan! Please wake up! You'll be late if you're not ready in the next half an hour!” I shouted while simultaneously knocking on the door. I somehow got surprised when I noticed Prince Luke beside me, handing me a key. “Use this duplicate key to open the door and soak him in water, he'll wake up fast that way.” Prince Luke suggested and I awkwardly smile... I can't possibly do that to a prince. Ahh~ Goddess forbid what might happen to me if I do that.

“Well, thank you.” I said and smiled. I used the key to open Prince Nathan's room. What welcomed me was prince Nathan lying on his bed like the dead, cooped up in his blanket like a cinnamon roll. He actually look cute while he's sleeping.

I called his name again and gently shook his shoulders to wake him up. I could here him move and groan. But he continued sleeping despite me shaking him, I was even tempted to soak him wet if he refuses to wake up the next five minutes. “Prince Nathan, wake up!” I shouted and shook him harder this time.

“What?! Back off it's still 5 am!” he shouted and pushed hands away from his shoulders. Oh Goddess, which world is he even living that he's 2 hours late? “What 5 am? It's already 7 am! You'll be late in the next 20 minutes.” I said. And after a few seconds of silence, he rashly stood up.

“What?! Oh shit, I have to get ready.” Prince Nathan said, I could see how he's in a rush. Well, he did it to himself. I woke him early but he did not heed my call. Prince Nathan immediately took his bath. I had to go to his walk in closet to prepare his uniform for him. I placed the neatly ironed and folded uniform in his bed and went outside of his room.

When I went downstairs, I saw Prince Luke happily eating the breakfast I made. That made me feel fuzzy. Prince Luke was actually taking his time savoring the pancake. I even heard him muttered, “This is so delicious, I've never eaten this type of pancakes.” and then took another bite. I smiled, “Your highness, you will be late after 10 minutes.” I reminded. I could see Prince Luke's unguarded expression and lowly chuckled. He finished his breakfast and made his way towards the door.

Before he could get far, I called him out and handed him his lunch box. He gave me a look of confusion and I smiled. “I made you snacks for later, it's the same as what you've eaten earlier.” I said. Prince Luke was hesitant but he took the lunchbox anyways and gave me his thanks.

Since I have to go to school too, I called out Del. “Del! I'll be going first, please tell Prince Nathan to finish his breakfast and bring his snack that I placed on the table!” I said.

“Okay, I will!” Del replied. I smiled, “Thank you!”

Del couldn't continue studying since her father neglected her and she was too poor to afford any school so she decided to just work and earn for her living.

~~~

I was walking on the way to school. Fortunately, Nathan's residence wasn't so far off from school, so it's good I get to save money by just walking to school.

When arrived by the front gate of the school, as usual, I was the center of attention and the topic of the gossips. Although, I am someone who don't seek any attention, I always ended up having them. I'm a peace loving girl, why do I have to disturbed by all these gossips.

“Isn't she the one who talked against Princess Milya?”

“Yes, she even have a disgusting eyes back then, she's like copying Prince Luke's eyes. Or is it the eyes of a demon? Oh Goddess, how creepy.”

“She's a bitch and a freaking manwhore”

“What an eyesore!”

Tsk. People who says nothing but nonesense are usually the ones who's life went downhill. I don't understand why they speak of such profanity.

Few moments later as I was walking, I could sense various presence I haven't felt before. Until the ground shook and a loud sound of explosion was heard.

What was that?!

I immediately closed my eyes and feel the presence of the people around me. There are hundreds of students running and panicking, each of their presence were different. But the various presence I thought I haven't felt before actually felt familiar. The presence felt foreign but at the same time it isn't. I'm not so sure what's going on.

“Students! Please calm down! All students must proceed to the Gymnasium and stay hidden! Again, stop panicking and calm down! Proceed to the Gymnasium, NOW!”

I immediately made my way towards the back of the school, I felt the unusual presence there. I ran and ran, I wanted to use magic to teleport my way towards everything but I'm losing my concentration, I'm feeling very uneasy.

I stopped for a while and concentrated myself.

‘Feel the power and energy around you.. inhale, exhale, inhale, and exhale.’

“Fire Wings” after muttering a small chant, I could feel the myself calm and when I open my eyes, I have seen a fire wing behind my back. I smiled, thankfully, that worked.

I flew as fast as I could towards the direction of the unusual presence. When I arrived at the back of the school, I could see a group of people wearing a black robe, some are holding a wand or a staff, arrow and bow, and as well as swords, spears, shields and etc. Every equipment were enchanted with support enchantments.

They're definitely trying to infiltrate the academy! I must defend what I can and stop them for as long as I can until reinforcements arrive. These b*tches are getting on my nerve. They have the audacity to attack the UMP? They're simply courting death.

When they noticed me, a group of gazes were directed at me. I especially got ticked when I see the arrogant stares of the Black Rebellions.

“Aww! The very first student who's gonna drown on her own blood!” let me just say that, that's the most cringey sentence I have ever heard in my life. His voice might sound intimidating but I have to stay strong and not falter. I must fight them until reinforcements arrive.

“I'm not planning on drowning on any blood, Mister!” I shouted and used intimidation magic to put a strong facade in my voice. The group of Black Rebellions were taken aback by my sudden intimidation and I successfully pulled aggro.

I positioned myself..

I'm so fired up! Let the fight begins!
